Fusion power has transformed from a long-standing joke to an ambitious technology, drawing significant investments and promising nearly limitless energy capabilities if commercially viable.
Recent advances in computer technology, AI, and superconducting magnets have accelerated fusion reactor designs and controls, enhancing the feasibility of practical fusion power generation.
The successful US Department of Energy experiment that achieved scientific breakeven in late 2022 marked a pivotal moment, validating the potential of fusion energy despite the road ahead to commercial viability.
Fusion startups have attracted $7.1 billion in investments, with companies like Commonwealth Fusion Systems leading the charge toward the development of a commercially significant power plant.
